Anyone who has risen through social classes knows that poorer people use their money much more wisely than richer people :)

I don't think you're wrong, but I know people who grew up poor and blow money on stupid shit -- or at least unnecessary purchases (eg, upgrading to every single new iPhone).

OTOH, I grew up upper-middle class, my dad being quite frugal and a big DIYer. Similarly, I make good money and am also very frugal. I have no reason to flaunt money around my peers.
